Hi there, I am looking for any info on The McAtav(e)y families from around this area.
My ggg-Granfather Patrick was born around 1929 ish, his father's name Hugh, mother's name unknown.
He joined the Royal Artillery and fought in Crimea War and survived. He moved to Woolwich London and died in 1907
Am looking for any birth/baptis records for him, or any records of his family, siblings etc.
I think he had a brother Owen who appeared to move to Liverpool area, other siblings am not sure about although would be nice to find out,
I would also like more info or photographs of the area, to see how they lived around that time. Also connecting with any other familes of this family would be fantastic.
I hope to come to Ireland one day soon, so I can see for myself, It would be lovely to see.
Also a Rose Mcatav(e)y she married a Courtenay and had a son Michael
any info is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Debbie

Hi Debbie
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Have you already tried rootsireland or familysearch for records of Hugh and his wife? The National Library are making parish registers available for free (up to the 1880s) on 8th July so this is another option for you. You can find out more here (2nd on the list): http://www.nli.ie/en/list/press-releases.aspx
There are some McTavey family mentioned in the 1911 Census: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?searchMoreVisi…
There is also one in the Griffith's Valuation:
